Crews work to clear snow, ice from Saskatoon streets

Snowfall, which began late Friday afternoon, is keeping city crews busy.

“Crews have worked through the night clearing snow on Priority 1 streets such as Circle Drive,” the city said in a media release Saturday morning.

The city said approximately seven centimetres, or 2.75 inches, of snow was recorded.

Because of the extreme cold overnight the city is warning drivers to be cautious as bridge decks, freeway ramps, overpasses and high-traffic intersections may be icy.

Crews are sanding, although the city said it is not sticking on the road in its media release.

Drivers can report icy or poor conditions to the Customer Care Centre at 306-975-2476 or through e-mail.
